    PTI presents three years’ performance charter

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) released the party’s performance since it came into power three years ago. The party under its manifesto of ‘Justice, humanity, and selflessness’ claims to have served the people of Pakistan.

    The Ehsaas programme has emerged as the largest social protection programme in history by benefiting almost half of the country’s population. ‘Ehsaas Emergency Cash’ has been declared as the third largest social protection programme in the world.

    The World Bank has listed the Ehsaas Emergency Cash programme among the top four social protection interventions globally in terms of the number of people covered. The programme distributed cash among 15 million underprivileged families after they suffered financially due to Covid-19 related lockdowns.

    Education:

    As per PTI’s claims, the government has done revolutionary initiatives for the education sector.

    A uniform education system has been introduced in the country under the Prime Minister’s auspices. The Single National Curriculum (SNC) has been approved and made functional in the country for students from Grade 1 through 5. One system of Education for all, in terms of curriculum, medium of instruction, and a common platform of assessment so that all children have fair and equal opportunities when it comes to receiving a high-quality education.

    Climate Change:

    In the climate change battle, Pakistan has emerged as an inspiration to the world over the course of the last three years. Pakistan has devised peculiar strategies to deal with environmental challenges.

    Under the supervision of the Ministry of Climate Change, the PTI government has been devoted to protecting the environment. From working on ‘Pakistan Clean Air Program’ to ‘Sustainable Forest Management’, PTI praised itself for the work it has done in this department.

    Pakistan launched a number of initiatives including a landmark “10-Billion Tree Tsunami” project that earned global acclaim.

    Reformation:

    Completing its three years in power, PTI claims to have done tremendous work for the restoration of green belts of ICT, Anti-Encroachment Drive, enhanced capacity of Panah Gahs, online token tax payment, and claim that they are some of the major achievements of the Interior Ministry.

    Digital Pakistan:

    Taking credit for the digital transformation of state media project, initiated by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, in view of the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan for a Digital Pakistan, PTI states to have done landmark work towards the digitalisation and modernisation of state media.

    Electoral reforms:

    Electoral reforms, electronic voting, and the voting process for overseas Pakistanis have been major projects spearheaded by PTI. The party has successfully launched electronic voting to aid the process of having smooth and transparent elections.

    To promote transparency and prevent fraud in the elections, the government has developed a model of the electronic voting machine and submitted it for testing.

    PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz, and Captain Muhammad Safdar Awan’s son Junaid Safdar married Ayesha Saif Khan in London on Sunday in a lavish ceremony. The duo tied the knot at The Lanesborough, a 5-star hotel in Knightsbridge.

    Although they hired a professional singer, Navin Kundra, who enthralled the audience with his songs, he asked Junaid to sing a song.

    Junaid impressed the guests with his singing skills, especially his wife Ayesha by crooning the chartbuster song, Kya Hua Tera Waada from the hit Bollywood film Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahi starring Rishi Kapoor.

    Singer Bilal Maqsood was quick to comment on social media that the decoration at Junaid Safdar’s wedding is from his tax money.

    Taking to Instagram stories, the Dhaani singer wrote: “Some of the flowers in the background might be from my tax money. But I have to give this guy full marks for his singing.”

    Female stars, Areeba Habib and Mathira were quick to condemn this statement citing that it’s a moment of happiness for Junaid’s family and it shouldn’t be dampened.

    They also appreciated his singing skills with multiple comments.

    Sun Yaara star Ghana Ali supported Bilal amidst the backlash and mentioned that ‘usko sub jaiz hai’.

    Video of bear stealing Amazon package from porch goes viral

    A woman in the United States posted a video on social media showing a bear stealing her parcel from Amazon.

    Kristin Levine of Bristol shared a home surveillance video on Facebook on Monday, showing the bear sauntering across her driveway with the package in its mouth.

    “Yea so if anyone sees an Amazon package in the Chippens Hill area with my name on it…feel free to bring it back?” Levine wrote in her post.

    Levine told NBC she received an alert from her security system about five minutes after Amazon delivered the package on the door and was “taken aback because I wasn’t expecting anyone else in my driveway.”

    The bear, she said, ended up dropping off the parcel in a neighbour’s yard. It was apparently not interested in the contents: several rolls of toilet paper, she said.

    “It was hysterical like I said, I knew nothing in there was going to be irreplaceable so it was a fun afternoon for sure,” Levine said.

    ‘Ashamed and pained’: PM Khan reacts to the Minar-e-Pakistan incident

    Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke about the assault of a female TikToker by hundreds of men near Minar-e-Pakistan earlier this month. He said that he was “ashamed and pained” by what happened, citing the lack of proper upbringing as a vital reason for the destruction we are seeing in society.

    While addressing the Punjab Education Convention 2021 in Lahore, the premier said the incidents of harassment and the sex crimes that were taking place now were “not a part of our culture or religion”.

    “When I was growing up, nobody could have thought that acts like this would happen [in Pakistan]. I have been to the entire world; the respect for women I saw while growing up existed in Muslim countries but not in the West. A big reason for the destruction we’re seeing is that our children are not being brought up properly,” he added.

    PM Khan praised the Punjab government for doing what no other province is doing. He termed the provincial government’s work in the education sector very important, saying education had not been a priority for previous governments.

    Recalling his educational journey, from the time when he graduated from Aitchison College and went to England for higher studies, he remarked, “I was made an English public-school boy, not a Pakistani. I was distanced from my culture and my religion through that educational system.”

    “The English medium [system] evolved in such a way that there was less emphasis on education and more emphasis on creating desi vilayati (local foreigners). The attitudes and mental slavery of another culture were absorbed.”

    Criticising the use of English in functions, the premier said, “An entire function was held in English because of two ambassadors and it was being aired on TV, which was being watched by the common man. How big of an insult it is to our people who don’t know English.”

    English should not be a “status symbol”, the premier stressed.
